Chapter 638
Kelly finally let them be
Revealing Bella’s identity now could cause a lot of unnecessary trouble since it was still under wraps. Kelly and Bella had a lot to do and couldn’t afford to blow their cover then.
Of course, Bella agreed with that.
The director remembered something, quickly pulled out a phone from his pocket, and handed it to Joyce. He laughed and said, “Joyce, I forgot to give this back to you earlier. I just stuffed it in my pocket”
Joyce rolled her eyes and said, “I don’t buy it!”
“Bella, you guys go ahead. I need to have a chat with the director.” Louisa turned her gaze to the director.
The director wanted to cry but had no choice but to personally entertain her and Kenneth, inviting them to sit down.
Outside.
Chasel looked at his beautiful and elegant–looking sister and formally said, “Hi, I’m your brother, Chasel. I’m glad you’re back home.”
Joyce and Mya on the side overheard it.
Back home? Bella just returned to the Collins family?
The word on the street was that the Collins family only had one daughter, Serena. Could Bella have been the one they had just found?
With that in mind, they felt sorry for Bella who, just returned home and must have gone through a lot in the past.
Arabella, hearing the name Chasel, had a few question marks popping up in her head.
Was that name for real? It sounded so casual.
He seemed to sense something and laughed as he explained, ‘After my parents had their first kid, they were hoping for a girl next. But when they saw me, they didn’t even feel like coming up with a name, so they picked something random.”
Everyone else felt kind of sorry for him, but also wanted to laugh.
Apparently, he didn’t have high status at home.
Arabella couldn’t help but laugh.
Thinking about David, Arabella laughed, “David is pretty lucky then.”
“He just changed his name to something catchy when he debuted.”
David couldn’t escape either. Poor guy.
“Bella, you’ve had a tough time over the years. From now on, mom, dad, and all your brothers will double down on treating you well.”
Chasel said that and pulled out a card from his pocket, apologizing, “I’ve been on a mission lately and couldn’t come home in time. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to neglect you.”
The mission he was on was a top–secret national assignment. He couldn’t tell anyone about it and couldn’t reveal his identity.
Kenneth and Louisa still had no idea what kind of missions he had been on, how many injuries he had had, and how much hardship he had endured.
The danger involved was also unimaginable to others.
Chasel said, “I just returned to the country last night and haven’t had time to go shopping yet. This is my card; buy whatever you want.”
Arabella thought, “Another card? Is this the way her family shows their love, by handing out cards and money?!”
“Thanks, bro. I appreciate the gesture, but I don’t need the card.” Arabella didn’t take it.
Arabella knew very well how dangerous his job was and how much caution was needed. She guessed the money on the card might be hard–earned.
“You must accept it. If you don’t, it means you don’t see me as your brother.” Chasel really wanted her to accept, but when Arabella didn’t make a move, Chasel couldn’t help but say, “You still see me as a stranger?”
Still, Arabella gently declined.
